I make things with data.

Quick Bio

My work centers on using data as a creative material, at times becoming visual, sound, or experience.

I currently work as a Research Data Visualization Engineer at University of Vermont with the Vermont Complex Systems Center and the Center for Community News, where I build data visualization tools, products, and stories. With a background in journalism, I view visualization as fundamentally an exercise in data storytelling.


Previously, I have worked with scientists to visualize data in the Pattern lab at the Broad Institute, taught data visualization courses at Northeastern University, and created interactive visualizations for Cornell's Lab of Ornithology, Floodbase, and various online publications.

I also create weird prototypes, make electronic music, and write a semi-regular newsletter called Data Curious.
